Volunteer Vacancies

Carer Support Hub Group Leaders and Helpers

We run 16 Carer Support Hub Groups across Hertfordshire which meet once a month at regular times. We are looking for new Leaders to run our groups in Berkhamsted, Bishops Stortford, and Chorleywood. We welcome applications for Joint Leaders if people want to share the role. We are looking for confident people who like working in teams and have an understanding of caring. Good communication skills are important. We would also welcome volunteers to help make drinks or greet carers at the Hub meetings.

Keep in Touch Service Volunteers

This is proactive role that benefits carers and can be done at home. We ask you to ring 5-10 carers each week. The carers are not expecting our calls and you will get a list with new names each week.

Mentor Volunteers

Mentors support unpaid family and friend carers on a 1:1 basis, providing a listening ear and helping carers to set small goals that will help them feel less isolated, have more social contact, increase their confidence and knowledge about available support.

Carer Engagement Volunteer

One of the services we offer to unpaid family carers is the opportunity to attend Carer Engagement Events across the county to have their voice heard towards improving services for themselves and the people they care for. More information about the Engagement team can be found at www.carersinherts.org.uk/have-your-say. We are looking for volunteers to help with the planning of these events and supporting the running of these events on the day and is a very flexible volunteering opportunity.

Carer Trainer

Carer Trainers provide training to health and social care professionals and university students to influence and inform future good practice. Through sharing lived care experiences, they offer powerful insights to help organisations recognise how they can support and deliver more carer friendly services. The aim is to seek improved outcomes for both carers and workers in health and social care.

This role is different to other roles listed here. The role can be either paid or undertaken in a volunteer capacity. If you are interested, you will be put in touch with the Carer Trainer Project Worker to discuss your options.
